Durmstrang Institute

The Durmstrang Institute is a wizarding school located in northern Europe, the most common guesses being either somewhere near to the Barents Sea or in the Jotunheim Mountains.The students at the school wear fur cloaks and blood-red robes, and receive a nine-year course of study beginning at the age of nine.

Durmstrang, like Hogwarts, is located inside a castle. The castle is only four stories tall and fires are only lit for magical purposes.In addition, the school is Unplottable; Durmstrang, like other schools, likes to conceal its whereabouts so that the other schools cannot steal their secrets.

Durmstrang does not admit Muggleborns, and is notorious for teaching the Dark Arts. Former Headmaster Igor Karkaroff was in the service of Lord Voldemort.
